Seed propagation: sow in autumn, simply place the seeds on moist soil, keep the temperature under control, and wait for them to germinate. Division propagation: select side branches, separate them from the main branch, and plant them in a new pot, water lightly, and after some time they will sprout. Beheading propagation: cut off the flower head and plant it in new potting soil.

1. Seed propagation

It is best to sow seeds in autumn. Just place the seeds in new potting soil; there is no need to dig holes for planting, nor to cover the seeds with soil. Simply place the seeds on moist soil, then use the bottom-watering method, keep the temperature under control, and after about 5 to 10 days they will germinate.

2. Division propagation

The best time for division propagation is late spring or autumn. Select side branches, gently separate them from the roots of the main branch, then let them dry in the shade, transplant them into potting soil, water lightly, and wait for them to sprout and take root.

3. Beheading propagation

In autumn, use dental floss to separate the base from the branch buds, and cut off the flower head. After letting the cut on the removed mountain rose (Aeonium) dry in the shade, it can be planted in new potting soil.
